Australian anti-war poster protesting involvement in the Vietnam War, calling for withdrawal of Australian troops from Vietnam. The protest was to be held on October 22nd in Hyde Park, Sydney, and would feature multiple speakers from multiple backgrounds, both military and academic. The poster feaures red and white text on a black background, with a stylized illustration of a Vietnamese mother and child at the center of a weapon target.
Australian withdrawal of troops from Vietnam would officially begin in 1971, marking the end of its military involvement in the Vietnam War. Troops had largely been removed by late 1972, and the Australian government would formally declare the end of its combat role in Vietnam in December of that same year.
